Thinking about Valentines Day...

It has been a tradition in my family to have a Valentine's breakfast the morning of Valentine's Day. I remember looking forward to this so much! It was always so special! My mom would get out her best dishes and my FAV red goblets with valentine treats sprinkled everywhere. I even remember some of our food being dyed red!
Last year was my first year celebrating Valentines Day MARRIED. My cooking wasn't really the greatest so I'm determined to make up for it this year! I want my family to look forward to Valentine's Day Breakfast as much as I did.
My February issue of Better Homes and Gardens came a week ago so I've been pouring over the pages looking for some good ideas... Anything from table decorations to sweet treat recipes. Here are some images I found from Real Simple to encourage my vday-breakfast&treat-making skills...

Wait, I take that back, it DID involve shopping....shopping from my house (Nester Style)! The Nesting Place has been having a series on how to re-vamp rooms in your house in just 10 minutes. She encourages you to find things around your room and just add some changes here and there. I was inspired and decided to rise and shine early Saturday morning (with the help of some snow blowers outside) and apply these strategies to our ever so desperate bedroom.  I have really neglected decorating our bedroom until about 10 minutes ago so please don't judge the before pictures!  Keep in mind that I'm NOT finished yet and I may just end up going shopping OUTSIDE of the house for a few things. However, this 10 minute make-over has made our room just a bit more cozy!! Step 1 : Make the Bed  *Before* *After* Step 2: Personalize it.  Create a tables...

It's a ....

We had the big 20 week ultrasound today and decided to invite the family over that evening for a gender reveal! Tom and I found out during the ultrasound and kept it a secret (which was super hard to do, even for a few hours!) until we had our family over. We found this really cute idea on how to "reveal" your babies gender from our friends here . We made cupcakes And inside of the cupcakes we filled it with colored frosting (pink for a girl, blue for a boy...not telling yet, wait for it....) Hans was so excited for everyone to get there (see? it was even hard for Hans to keep the secret!). He ran and got daddy's shoes and was putting them on by the door. Everyone chose a plate and a cupcake and we went into the living room to bite into it together... And...... IT'S A GIRL!!!!! Hans is already learning how to blame things on his little sister...tsk tsk. Hans, we totally saw you eat the cupcake, silly! We missed a lot of family members that really wanted to be the...
